M WED TO GODR. My body is weary, my head feels faint, but I go to the chest of my beloved Spouse and I lay my head on His wound. I enter into the great abyss of His love through the wound in His side.
I see the need to pray for priests and sisters and the faithful as never before. I see myself and how far I am from Him and how close I want to be. I see my offenses against my Lord. I long to be more and more like Him. I want to be beautiful for my beloved Spouse. What the world thinks is beautiful is of no concern. I want to live in Him. I want my soul white and pure. My soul is marred with daily offenses against my beloved God. I want Him so much. I don't want to offend Him.
I see as never before the great dignity and honor He gives to His creatures and His great love for them. I feel chills to know I am betrothed to Him, my beloved Savior. He is the Bridegroom of my soul.
My spirit is alive, my energy endless. I will not tire for I am married to the Almighty God. He is my beloved Spouse. I travel and speak on His behalf to tell this world of His endless love. I pray for grace for myself and others that He will speak through me and use me as His instrument. However He uses me is my delight, for my life is for Him and Him alone. My body may feel weary, my heart is on fire with burning love for my beloved Prince, my King, my Prophet, my Savior, my Beloved, my God!
I become one in the sacrifice as I unite to Him at every moment. As He is sacrificed, I am sacrificed with Him and I offer myself, imperfect and unworthy, to the Father for my sins and the sins of this world.
I honor You. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. I am in awe to unite with my beloved God. Who am I that I unite with the Divine God? My strength is in You for when I am weak, I am strong. When I fall to the ground with exhaustion, I rise up with the cross on my back for I am living in Him. I am living His life in my life, carrying out His life, death, and Resurrection in my life.
He is my Strength. He is my God. He is my All. Unto Him I lift my soul. I pray that He will accept this unworthy sacrifice, that I will unite ever more deeply to my beloved Spouse, and I will be His little flower, fresh and beautiful before the throne. I pray the Spirit transforms me more and more. I am weak, and I am a sinner. He is strong, and He is the Almighty God. It is in Him I am made whole, and it is in Him, I live. It is in Him I exist. It is in Him, I love.
Take me, work in me, for I love You with my whole heart, but I am so weak, but in You, I am strong. In You, I can live in the Father's will. I am but a baby. Let me die to myself at every Mass and be stripped bare of my sins. As I unite in the sacrifice with my crucified Lord, I become one in His wounds. I unite my unruly spirit to Him.
If bread and wine is changed into Your Body and Blood, You can change me from my sinful ways more into Your image and likeness.
I am burned in the furnace of His Heart. My debris is burned away more and more. At each Mass, I die more and more to my selfish and prideful ways. I am united to the sacrifice. In Him, I am made more pleasing to God. I am unworthy. I have so many impurities. (I am weak in my self - only in You am I anything!) Take me, and do with me as You desire. I am Yours, Lord. In You, I live, I breathe, I am. Make me more and more like You.

ALLOWEENR. I went with Joe's class to a concert. The kids were so bad on the bus. They talked about the devil at the concert.
I realized the intense need for children to receive the messages of God's love. I felt intense suffering for the children and cried for the children of the world. I was suffering for the little children. I felt so sick because Jesus is rejected and forgotten in the tabernacle! I cried under the crucifix for a half hour. I am so weak right now, I don't want to move.
I am suffering for Mary's little lost children in the world, suffering and experiencing heartache for the neglect of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Today is Halloween. I had intense suffering for the loss of little children parading around as little devils. They do not even know God!
I
LOVE JESUS TO LOVE MER. Jesus was condemned to death.
Jesus carried His cross.
Jesus fell the first time.
Jesus sees His Mother.I will not have peace until I look at my foes with love. I must see their loving deeds. Focus on the good they have done for me. See the good in the person. See the reflections of God's life within them, the deeds they have performed that were loving.
Satan wants me to see the ill deeds of others. He talks in our heads and tries to get me to focus on how I have been wronged. I will, with the grace of God, see the beauty of God reflected in them and try to respond with love to them, try to understand their position, try to thank God for the gifts given to me.
My greatest gift is my union with Jesus. Such gifts I have been given by my beloved Spouse. He is a Divine Person. No person can compare even a speck to my relationship with my Divine Lord. He is God; creatures are creatures. I will cherish the love I share with Him, my Savior, my Lover, my God, my All.
The key that makes us His disciples is our love for each other. If I am making myself right and others wrong, I am not focusing on the love given from God.
I must love. I must beg the Holy Spirit to direct my heart in the ways of love.
The Apostles were filled with the love of God from the descent of the Holy Spirit. When filled with His love, we share our joy with others. His way is love. We must love one another and trust in Him. Our advancement in being like Christ is to advance in love. We must rely on the Holy Spirit to fill us with the burning fire of God's love.
Dear Holy Spirit, You are my Friend. I love You so much. I adore and love You. The Holy Spirit is a ball of fire. He is Love.
The Father is love. God created us because of His goodness.
God is our goal. True happiness is achieved only in Him.
I love the Holy Spirit so much. He is my very, very deep Friend. Our goal is to love God. Jesus left a sacrifice in which He is victim and priest. We must give ourselves to others as Christ gave Himself.
J
ESUS AND MARY WANT OUR LOVER. I see the face of Mary and I hear her cry for the little children of the world that will go to hell. Help me to be an empty vessel whereby You use me to spread Your love.
I beg You to give me the books to circulate.
I beg You for the way to spread Your love to the children.
I live for Thee and Thee alone.
Mary is allowing me to suffer her pain as I stood under the cross. It was as if I had the agony of both Hearts. Hers for her little lost children - His for His hungering Heart of deepest love. Jesus longs for the love of His precious ones.
Let me die to myself that I will live in You that You may operate in me to help others to get to heaven. I empty myself and ask You to possess my soul, to do what You want through me for the salvation of souls, to give to me fearlessness to carry out the message of Your burning love.

Sorrowful Mysteries
Before the Tabernacle
Agony In the Garden
l. R. Let us place ourselves in the presence of the Almighty God. Think of Jesus, see His brown hair, His body clothed in a tunic and see Him walking on a sunlit day. Focus as if you were there and how it would feel to be this close to Jesus and walking next to Him. You are there at this time with Jesus and you are right next to Him. You can speak and He will hear you and He will speak to you. Does your heart burn to be so close to the Almighty God? Jesus is in this room, no less present than He was the day that He walked this earth. The Almighty God, the Son of God, is in this room and in the Holy Eucharist and He is crying out to us to unite in such oneness with Him, to be so close that He dwells within our hearts in such oneness as the bridegroom of our soul. Jesus wants this close union with us at all times. Let us surrender at this moment and during the mysteries of this rosary and ask Him for grace to help us join closer and closer in our union with Him, to know more and more the burning fire of His love.
l. R. Be with Jesus in the garden. Kneel beside Him. He asked the apostles to come and to watch with Him and they slept. Let us comfort His aching heart in such pain for all the souls that would reject Him and neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference - the souls from all time. He suffered in the garden such agonies to His Heart for His beloved souls that He loved so dearly and would treat Him with hatred and indifference and ingratitude.
2. R. Focus on the Heart of Jesus as we see the heart on the Sacred Heart picture, as we see Jesus on so many pictures, with His hands on both sides of His Heart, always showing us His Heart. His Heart is a burning furnace of love. He wants us to see His Heart, adorned in yellow, burning with such heat and love for us.
3. R. Are not our hearts burning within us as we think that the Almighty God so loved His creatures that He took on a human body and came into this world conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary, a human person! Who are we that God loves His creatures so much He took on a human nature?
4. R. We endlessly search, day after day, for something to feed our starved souls when nothing on the face of this earth will feed our souls but only God can feed our soul. Jesus calls out constantly and is telling us, “I am here, and I am with you minute by minute, second by second, with a Heart that is filled with burning love, outpouring this love to you, My beloved ones. How I love you. I am so glad that you have come to be with Me in this room. I am longing and thirsting to unite deeper and deeper with you. Open wide your hearts. Release yourselves of any walls that surround your heart. Let go. Focus on My burning heart of love. I give to you this love, I dwell within you in a special way when you are in the state of grace. Do you feel My presence in this room? I am truly present in the consecrated host, no less present than the day that I walked this earth? Do you know that I come to you, My beloved ones, with My Heart burning and on fire? Open wide your heart. Let My love penetrate your starved soul.”
5. Song: I come to you with greatest love
6. R. Jesus, Jesus, the Almighty God! Can we ever realize a little bit that the Almighty God is in this room with us, truly present, in the Eucharist?
7. R. We run after such foolish things and God waits, day after day after day in the tabernacle for His beloved souls to come and to visit Him and to be with Him. He said to the apostles, “can you not wait one hour with Me?" Can we not come this day and spend some of our busy day with the Almighty God, truly present, waiting and longing to be ever closer to us?
8. R. You do not realize the great gifts that we are given, that God is here and waiting to share a love relationship with us!
9. Jesus: When the messages of My love are transmitted among the members of My church, the bloodshed will stop. I am calling out to you to come closer and closer to My Heart. As you unite in this oneness with Me, I will operate through you and minister to this world that is suffering and in pain. The most important thing you can do, My beloved ones, is to unite to Me.
l0. R. In the Mass we hear, “Through Him, With Him and In Him.” Let us pray for the grace to unite deeper and deeper in our union with Him for to unite with Him is to have all that we need.
Scourging At the Pillar
Song: I Love You Jesus
l. R. Come Holy Spirit, come into our hearts and fill us with the fire of God’s love. Transform us more and more in the heart of Mary into the image and likeness of Jesus.
2. R. We see our beloved Jesus as He stood at the pillar, tied, His hands tied and they beat Him, they tore His flesh with harsh instruments!
3. Jesus: My dear ones, I am asking you to meditate on the Passion. It is in meditating on My Passion that you will know more and more the immensity of My love. You must learn to go to the inner sanctuaries of My Heart and dwell there, through the heart of My Mother. Enter into My Heart through My pierced side, into the inner chambers of My Heart, into a room where you are secure and warm. I am waiting to caress you and hold you within My Heart. You will be protected from all of the storms that surround you for I am the Almighty God. I have all the power. I take you to My Heart and if the wind blows and the stars cease to shine you will find refuge in the inner chambers of My Sacred Heart.
4. R. Jesus stood at the pillar and He was beaten by those men that He loved, but His greatest agonies were the agonies to His Heart. Jesus was buckled over in pain from those who rejected Him and treated Him with such violence and such hatred.
5. R. How did the martyrs suffer martyrdom? Some were sawed in half, some were beaten, many were murdered. How did they suffer this martyrdom? They knew, within, the burning love of God, Jesus is giving to us great graces to join in deepest union with Him to know Him in the inner sanctuaries of His Heart. He is calling us to unite in such oneness that if even the stars would cease to shine and if the sun would fall from the sky, we would know the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit within our hearts and our hearts would burn for love of God for we would know that God is all powerful and almighty and He lives!! He lives within us in a special way when we are in the state of grace. I see Jesus, bound and whipped at the pillar, but His eyes are gentle and loving. His face is full of love, love for the men that beat Him. This is the love that He wants in our hearts, love for those that persecute us, love for all men as He loved those that tore His flesh.
6. R. How do we do this? How do we love as He wants us to love? At every Mass, pray more and more for the grace to unite in deepest union with Him, to be healed of any hatred or anger, and to unite with Him in deepest love in the Holy Eucharist. For Jesus is love, to know Jesus intimately, is to have love in our hearts. We cannot hate and love at the same time.
7. R. Jesus stood at the pillar and they tore Jesus' flesh. Jesus was covered with blood and wounds and He loved those who beat Him!
8. Jesus: Unless the messages of My love are transmitted among the members of My Church the bloodshed will continue. I call you to unite with me in deepest union. Come to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and unite with Me in this sacrifice to the Father. Offer yourselves to the Father and unite in deepest union with Me when you receive the Holy Eucharist.
9. R. How is it that God loves us so much that He unites with us - the Divine God wants to be one with us, a human person! Jesus gives Himself to us in such union in the Holy Eucharist! It is in this union that we are filled with His immense love.
l0. Hail Mary
Crowning With Thorns
R. Each one of us, was uniquely created by the Father and is so important to God's plan, each one of us, is so loved by Him. Let us pray for the grace to realize more and more the immense love that God has for us.
l. R. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced, baptized soul. God wants us to be witnesses of love to others. Let us pray for the grace to realize the immensity of God’s love for us, for Jesus says, “unless the messages of His love are transmitted in the members of His Church, the bloodshed will continue.” It is in becoming one with Him and being filled with Jesus' love that we will be loving witnesses to others in the world.
2. R. How important we are to the plan of the Father! See Jesus with His head crowned with thorns and the men spitting on Him and hollering at Him, yet He withstood all of this treatment for He loved us to His death. He loved us!
3. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I am in this room with you at this moment. I call from the tabernacle to you, My beloved ones. I want such union with you. Come to Me and let Me bathe you in My love. I long and thirst to be so close to you. You will be pressed on day after day by the evil one. It is only in realizing My love that you will be a channel and carry this love to others.
Satan is very strong. He is pressing down on you, My faithful ones, for He wants souls for hell. I am Jesus. I am calling you to come and unite ever closer to My Heart for you will be the light shinning in the dark world, filled with My love. You will radiate this love to those that are suffering. Satan is running rampant at this time. He is causing much confusion and doubt in your lives. You must come to My Heart, through My pierced side. Come into the inner sanctuary of My Heart and I will bathe you with My burning love.
4. Song: I Love You Jesus
5. R. We go about our lives everyday and we live the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in our lives.
6. Jesus: Who will I call if you do not answer? I am calling you. You will be pressed on. You will be tried. You are My beloved ones. I am calling out to you to be strong, to come to the Eucharist, to come and beg for the grace to be strengthened by My grace in you. I am giving to you abundant graces to grow deeper and deeper in your union with Me. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Many souls will be lost. I am calling out to you to unite and to help in the salvation of souls.
7. R. Jesus sat on a mock throne and He was crowned, with a piercing crown of thorns. Jesus' face was covered with blood. Jesus' garment covered His body, His garment covered the open wounds. He did not answer back. He did not call out. He was silent. He accepted the treatment and loved those that persecuted Him. He came to show us the way to live. He walked the earth. He suffered. He died. He rose and ascended into heaven. Jesus wants to dwell in us this day. Live in our hearts. He wants us to live His life, death and resurrection in our lives.
8. R. We struggle and we struggle. In the deepest struggles, we experience deeper and deeper life in Him.
9. R. It is in handling the ordinary little problems that are sometimes the hardest to handle. Handle them with love and patience and ask the Holy Spirit to help us to be more and more like Jesus. Telling Him we are sorry when we realize how far we are from being like Him.
l0. Hail Mary...
Jesus Carries His Cross
R. They stood around Jesus with their angry faces and the hatred in their eyes. Picture yourself there and look at the faces of the men that are poking at Jesus and look at the face of Jesus filled with peace, and love. The faces of the men poking at Jesus were filled with hatred, anger and condemnation. He came to show us the way. Jesus came to show us the way that He wants our faces to look.
l. R. Jesus accepted the cross that they gave to Him. They put the cross on His back. It was so heavy Jesus scarce could walk but He accepted the cross and went His way. Jesus came to show us the way. Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem, in such poverty, rejected by men at birth. He carried His cross on His back to His death on Calvary.
2. R. Jesus shows us how He died on the cross and He rose on the third day. Jesus shows us that the way to follow Him is to take up our cross and follow Him. In the cross there is the resurrection if we follow Him. In Him is life. Let us walk this way through this mystery of the rosary and realize that, with all the crosses we can follow Jesus, and we can obey God's will.
3. R. In Jesus is the victory! Death/Resurrection. Follow Jesus, die to those ways not like Him - rise to new life. On the third day He rose victorious, adorned in white, His wounds glistening. We, too, carry our crosses but if we endure the suffering, and follow Jesus we can have new life.
4. R. Mary walked beside Jesus. Mary is His beloved Mother. As Mary walked and looked into His face, Mary saw the Son that she loved so dearly. Mary carried the secret in her heart, from the prophesy of Simeon, knowing that sufferings would come, knowing all through her Son's life that He would suffer and now Mary saw her Son, Jesus, covered with blood, Jesus' head was crowned with thorns, Jesus' body was torn, with the cross on His back and Mary watched Him fall, with His chin to the ground. Mary carried this in her heart for 33 years, knowing sufferings would come. Mary suffered by Jesus' side.
5. R. How the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus. How pure and loving is Mary's heart! She is His beloved Mother of love. Mary loved her Son with the deepest love. It is in uniting to Mary's heart that we will love Jesus more deeply. Let us ask Mary to carry us deeper and deeper into the inner recesses of this burning Heart of love.
6. R. We could look into Jesus' eyes if we could see His beautiful eyes. We could see the most magnificent burning eyes of love. Let us go to the inner recesses of His Heart and ask Him to help us to experience more and more His burning love, to unite in deeper, deeper union with Jesus to be so one in Him. Such joy to unite with Him in the Holy Eucharist, to have this presence of God in our heart. Are not our hearts burning within us that God loves us so much that He carried the cross and gave Himself on a hill at Calvary?
7. R. We see so many times how we are stripped of things that are so important to us. Even words that people say to us, hurt us, abuse us, others can be very cruel to us. We see Jesus as they tore off His clothes and they treated Him with such cruelty and they pushed Him!
8. R. It is in joining deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus that we will have peace and joy in our hearts. The winds may blow and the stars may cease to shine but we will know His burning love within us.
9. R. I see Him so many times with His chin on the ground and the cross on His back and I look into His beautiful eyes, the eyes of such love and no matter what is going on - to see Jesus, the Almighty God, strung out on the ground, the cross on His back, gives us strength.
l0. Sing: A Song from Jesus
Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross
R. Think of Jesus with His hands outstretched. They pulled His arms so tightly and they stretched His body and nailed His hands and His feet to the cross.
l. R. How was it for Jesus to know that they lifted the hammer and that they would come down and pound the nails into His hand?
2. R. How is it for us that He cries out this day from the tabernacle that He loves us so much but we are so blind that we do not realize that He gave Himself for love of us, that the Son of God came to this earth, incarnate, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, that He lived in a human body on this earth and that He gave His life because He loved us so much.
3. R. Stand with Mary under the cross as she looks up and she sees her beloved Son. A constant aching in her heart, Mary knew Jesus would suffer from the prophesy of Simeon. Mary stood beneath the cross and Mary saw her Son covered with blood and crowned with thorns. In her heart Mary knew souls that would suffer despite Jesus' sufferings. Jesus suffered for all men. Jesus is our Savior. Many men would throw away the gift Jesus wanted to give them. Some men even go to hell despite what Jesus did.
4. R. We do not need deep theology to understand the love of God. It is clear. If we look at the crucifix we see that Jesus so loved man that He came to this earth and He allowed Himself to be crucified and He died willingly that we would be saved. The crucifix is such a friend - to look at the crucified body of Christ as He hung on the cross, to look at the hands and to realize that the nails went all the way through, to see His head crowned with thorns, and to see that God loves us so much that He gave Himself! Jesus gave His last breath and the last beat of His Heart that we would be saved, that we would be with Him forever and ever in heaven.
5. R. Let us focus on the wounds of Christ. Look at the depth of the wounds in His hands from the nails. The suffering within the body, all the pain, carried within His body. We see on the outside of His body the wounds, but the pain within!
The Church this day is suffering within. The messages of His love are not being transmitted as they need to be among the members of the Church. We are to love as members of the body of Christ. God is love!! Mary appears and she calls out to spread the love of her Son, especially to the children. Many little children are not even being taught about the love of Jesus, they are being taught many vile and cruel and ugly and horrible things in this world today, but they are not being told about Jesus and how He loves them. We were created to know, love and serve God. To mention the word of God is scoffed at by many today, imagine that! To mention such vile things and such poison on television and the movies is accepted, but to talk dishonorably about God how offending to a good God. Mary appears and she asks us to pray, pray, pray for the children. We must contact the children. We must tell the children how Jesus and she loves them. We must tell the children about the Eucharist and teach children to pray the rosary. Mary is calling out so strongly every day and this week I understood the deep sufferings that Mary suffered. Mary says we must reach the children. Mary is begging us to reach the children. Mary stood beneath the cross. Mary is the Mother of Jesus. Mary stood beneath the cross and she saw her Son covered with blood and wounds and she knew in her heart all that would be lost this day. Mary has said many children are going to hell. Children, her beloved children, that are in sin and use drugs etc. Mary is calling out to reach the children. Let us pray fervently that we carry the message of God’s love to this world, especially to children, for the children are being taught daily so many ugly things in this world, but where do they go if they have not been told about the love of God? We have been called by Mary to reach them.
6. R. Let us beg the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, to give us abundant graces, to unite ever deeper to the Almighty God, to know more and more, every moment of our lives, the great gifts that we are given from the Almighty God, to know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. Pray to know the immense love of God.
7. R. Jesus called out once when I was meditating on the crucifixion that He gave Himself for us, what more do we want? That He gives Himself to us this day! We do not treasure the great gift that we are given, how He is treated with such indifference and ingratitude by those who receive Him in the Holy Eucharist and run from the church and He calls out - “tell them, tell them, that the Almighty God gives Himself to them and how He longs for us to visit and spend those precious moments after Communion with Him, when He gives us infinite knowledge of Himself!
8. R. I hear Him call out when the priest raises the host: “This is My Body, This is My Blood.” This is what He gives to us. Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist. Jesus gives us His Body and His Blood. Lord, give us the grace to unite ever closer to You and to realize this most precious gift that we are given in the Eucharist.
9. R. Mary stood beneath the cross and Mary looked at the lifeless body of her Son - Mary held Him in her arms. The wounds in His side, the wounds in His hands and feet - His head punctured by the thorns! Jesus complied always to the Will of the Father. Jesus died on the cross for us. It is in the death there is the resurrection. Death has no power over Jesus! We must stay rooted in Him. Pray for a greater sharing in His life.
l0. Song: I Love You Jesus
Jesus: If the messages of My love are not transmitted among the members of My Church, the bloodshed will continue. I call you, My dear ones, to come and to unite in deeper union with Me. I am pouring out My abundant graces to you for I long and thirst to be so close to you. It is in this union that I will minister to this hurting world. I am Jesus and you have been called here by My Mother. It is through her heart that you will be placed deeper and deeper in the inner recesses of My Heart and know more and more My burning love for you.
R
OSARY NOTESI receive the Holy Eucharist. I realize the presence of God within me.
I feel as Mary felt to know the Child Jesus was within her. I meditate on Christ coming to us in the Holy Eucharist.
Feel as Mary felt to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Partake in Mary's life, carrying Jesus within her.
Mary felt His life move within her. It was through her body we receive His life.
She saw Him on the cross and watched His life leave His body.

EEL THE PAIN INSIDEWritten at 8:15 a.m., in front of the tabernacle:
R. I love You so much, sweet Jesus. I love the Blessed Sacrament. I love the Eucharist. I love each moment with You - so precious to me, each moment, every special second. I am in tears and filled with such emotion and love for Him.
We see the outside, the body, the wounds of Jesus, but the pain was felt inside, the buckling over in the chest, the sound in His ears from angry men, the scene-all within the body of Christ.
The scene today from the outside-looks that are hollow, that are self-promoting, the looks on the face, the actions, the words spoken reflect the hearts within. The more the heart is like Jesus' Heart, the more the words will be like Jesus' words. How saturated are we in His life? How much do our actions reflect His life within us? Is our life rooted in Him? Do our actions reflect His light, or darkness coming from starved souls? The exterior of the body reflects the life within. A life rooted in Him reflects His life. A life rooted in selfish promotion reflects darkness inside. To be of Him we must die to self and live in Him. The struggles we have experienced have caused us to rejoice in new life.
I
WANT THE GRACE TO LOVE HIM MORER. At the Mass, I am so aware of the miracle taking place through the hands of the priest.
I am in awe. Bread is changed into the Body of Christ.
With all my heart, I know this is truly the Almighty God, in all His greatness. I realized the great Sacrifice offered to the Father at the Consecration - so aware of everything going on and the Sacrifice is the sacrifice of Calvary, now being sacramentally made present there.
I wanted, with all my heart, to unite to Jesus in this sacrifice and make reparation for my sins and the terrible sins of all men against God.
I wanted so much, with such depth, the very deepest union with Him to help make reparation for the awful sins of man against God. (writing this is shallow - my heart burns with such depth, for I cannot describe the way I feel).
I want, so deeply, to love God. I kept asking Him to help me to love Him so much. I am such a little speck, but I know He can help me to give Him deeper love. I want so much to give Him love - great love, and I am so inadequate to love God.
He magnifies my love so I can love Him more - He Who is so worthy of love!
I want to worship Him and adore Him and honor Him for He is so great and worthy of such honor and glory, but I need Him to help me to love and honor and worship Him more for I am such a little speck compared to God.
Had I but Mary's sinless heart, to love Thee more, my dear, precious Lord!
I realized, from before Mass, how deeply I love each Person of the Trinity, to the point of tears, knowing They are all within me, wanting so deeply to unite with Them, and give Them greater love - greater and greater love as little as it is.

HE PROMISE OF OUR LADY AT FATIMAR. The promise of Our Lady at Fatima is this:
My daughter, look at My Heart surrounded with the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.43
Our Lady of Fatima requested us to carry out the following devotions on the first Saturdays. She promises us the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death. We must follow the devotion as Our Lady stipulated.
...The practice of the five first Saturdays involves:
1) Going to confession, which may be done from eight days before to 8 days after the first Saturday. Of course, if a person is in the state of serious sin, the confession must be made before receiving Communion.
2) Receiving Holy Communion.
3) Recitation of five decades of the rosary.
4) Meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary.All of the above [except confession] must be done on the first Saturday of five consecutive months with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart. For those who make the five first Saturdays, Our Lady of Fatima has promised to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation.44

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15 |
|
Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15 | ||
|
Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr.
